Definition

Statutory minimum wage converted to an hourly rate, deflated with the consumer price index to the OECD's current base year and converted to US dollars with purchasing power parities for private consumption of that year.

Only countries with a national statutory minimum wage are covered. The OECD averages rates that change during the year, so a value can differ from the rate in force on a given date, and it restates every year when the price base moves.
